Seeing comments making fun of his voice or how he looked in the 80s reminds me how much I hate metal elitists.

If someone makes fun of King's voice and look then they are in no way a metal elitist. Metal elitists usually love King.

I dont know man, it does seem very "metal elitist" to dismiss King Diamond because they felt that The Family Ghost was too "hair metal", considering the fact that metal elitists have a notorious hateboner for hair metal.

How the hell is Family Ghost hair metal? Where are you even getting that from?

Apparently a bunch of commenters thought that the outfits that the members of his band in that time period wore were too "Bon jovi" for music like King's. The song itself is so far away from hair metal though.

Don't worry about what those people say. That video was made 30 years ago their complaint is completely irrelevant.

I mean look here, the other guys in the band do dress in an 80s rock fashion...because it was the 80s! It wasn't like they were dressing overly gaudy like Pretty Boy Floyd or Poison or Asylum-era KISS. But if something just slightly resembles hair metal, metal elitists automatically reject it, and I think that's bullshit.

What he does vocally is truly unique. No one else has a voice like his.

Indeed! I must admit that what he does is not something you listen to casually - you have to be fully engaged in order to appreciate it and understand it - and I usually can't take more than one album because it's so intense. But he's unique, and absolutely nobody came even close to him in what he does.
